Tor

Tor is an encrypted anonymising network that makes it harder to intercept internet communications, or see where communications are coming from or going to.

In order to use the WikiLeaks public submission system as detailed above you can download the Tor Browser Bundle, which is a Firefox-like browser available for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux and pre-configured to connect using the anonymising system Tor.

Tails

If you are at high risk and you have the capacity to do so, you can also access the submission system through a secure operating system called Tails. Tails is an operating system launched from a USB stick or a DVD that aim to leaves no traces when the computer is shut down after use and automatically routes your internet traffic through Tor. Tails will require you to have either a USB stick or a DVD at least 4GB big and a laptop or desktop computer.

Tips

Our submission system works hard to preserve your anonymity, but we recommend you also take some of your own precautions. Please review these basic guidelines.

1. Contact us if you have specific problems

If you have a very large submission, or a submission with a complex format, or are a high-risk source, please contact us. In our experience it is always possible to find a custom solution for even the most seemingly difficult situations.

2. What computer to use

If the computer you are uploading from could subsequently be audited in an investigation, consider using a computer that is not easily tied to you. Technical users can also use Tails to help ensure you do not leave any records of your submission on the computer.

3. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

1. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

2. Act normal

If you are a high-risk source, avoid saying anything or doing anything after submitting which might promote suspicion. In particular, you should try to stick to your normal routine and behaviour.

3. Remove traces of your submission

If you are a high-risk source and the computer you prepared your submission on, or uploaded it from, could subsequently be audited in an investigation, we recommend that you format and dispose of the computer hard drive and any other storage media you used.

In particular, hard drives retain data after formatting which may be visible to a digital forensics team and flash media (USB sticks, memory cards and SSD drives) retain data even after a secure erasure. If you used flash media to store sensitive data, it is important to destroy the media.

If you do this and are a high-risk source you should make sure there are no traces of the clean-up, since such traces themselves may draw suspicion.

4. If you face legal action

If a legal action is brought against you as a result of your submission, there are organisations that may help you. The Courage Foundation is an international organisation dedicated to the protection of journalistic sources. You can find more details at https://www.couragefound.org.

Submit documents to WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks publishes documents of political or historical importance that are censored or otherwise suppressed. We specialise in strategic global publishing and large archives.

The following is the address of our secure site where you can anonymously upload your documents to WikiLeaks editors. You can only access this submissions system through Tor. (See our Tor tab for more information.) We also advise you to read our tips for sources before submitting.

Copy this address into your Tor browser. Advanced users, if they wish, can also add a further layer of encryption to their submission using our public PGP key.

If you cannot use Tor, or your submission is very large, or you have specific requirements, WikiLeaks provides several alternative methods. Contact us to discuss how to proceed.

B. STATE 85467
1. (SBU) Ambassador and POL/ECON Officer on June 6 informed
GOC Ministers of Justice, and of Family and Social Action of
the publication of the 2006 Trafficking in Persons report,
and of Chad's Tier Two Watch List ranking. Ambassador again
raised the issue on June 7 with Minister of Foreign Affairs
and African Integration Ahmad Allam-mi; POL/ECON Officer
reinforced the message on June 9 with MFA North Americas Desk
Director Adoum Mahamat Yahya.
2. (SBU) GOC Ministers assured us they understood that
continued progress must be made in combatting trafficking in
persons. We discussed with them the following concrete
actions that could help to indicate the GOC's commitment to
addressing the problem:
-- Passage of specific anti trafficking legislation: The
Secretary General of the Ministry of Justice informed us that
SIPDIS
Chad's specific anti-trafficking legislation has cleared the
Council of Ministers; he reminded his minister that the law
needed only to be registered on the National Assembly's work
program for a date for debate and vote to be set. The
National Assembly has already been sensitized to the content
of the legislation, so approval should be uncontroversial.
-- Ratification of the Transnational Protocol on the
Supression of Trafficking in Persons: MinJustice SecGen noted
that, while this required only procedural work, the job
belonged to Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Legal Department.
Americas Desk Director Yahya agreed, and committed to pursue
the issue. Post encouraged him to inform us of the steps
that would need to be taken, so that we might monitor
progress.
3. (SBU) POL/ECON Officer pointed out that, to show continued
progress, these actions needed to be coupled with finalizing
the survey on Chad's ability to reinforce its judicial
capacity. She stressed that further action was also needed
in pursuing a number of TIP cases already in the Chadian
justice system.
4. (SBU) Post will follow up with the Justice and Foreign
Affairs Ministries to urge continued progress.
